TikTok and Snapchat

Feeney first began posting to TikTok when it was still known as Musical.ly in 2015.
She continued to create content throughout high school, amassing 2 million TikTok followers when the Coronavirus pandemic started in 2020. During the pandemic, she began posting videos on the growth of sea monkeys and unboxing videos. In February 2021, she gained national attention when she made over one million dollars using Snapchat's "Spotlight" feature within six weeks of posting content, something that had never been done before in Snapchat's history.



Youtube Shorts

Like TikTok, Feeney has been active on YouTube Shorts since it was launched in 2021. Through this, she was able to gain more than 750,000 new subscribers on the platform in just three months. Due to her success with shorts, YouTube invited her to be their official correspondent for Super Bowl LVI in 2022. She served as a de facto sideline reporter, interviewing players, and documented the game by posting shorts on her channel. She has described YouTube as her "fastest growing platform."
